Zen Vision M or this one? Let's just say I can afford the Vision M. I hardly watch videos, so which should I get?

I would suggest this one. The Vision M is a lot bigger. I didnt think it was by the measurements until I saw one at Best Buy and the thing is huge. Bigger than a 30gig iPod

I would say this one because I've had it for a year with no problems. My son, though has had two Vision M's that died in a few months. Truthfully, though, with his experience and the lack of support, I wouldn't buy another Creative product.

What are your thoughts between the Eyeclops Multizoom and the Eyeclops Bionic Cam which comes with the USB stick?

I have both cameras (z915 and z950) and I would say that the main thing you get with the z950 over the z915 is manual focus and HD video. The 12 mp resolution on the z950 is not significantly better than the 10 mp of the z915, nor is the Schnieder-Kruznach lens on the z950 noticably better than the Retinar lens on the z915. The VGA video on the z915 looks great on non-HD TV sets. Since the z915 can be had for about $130, as opposed to $180 for the z950, I'd say the z915 offers more bang for the buck.

T.C. Thanks so much for a really thorough and helpful post. I'm far from a videophile, given my age (58) and thus waning eyesight, so as long as I see the screen and it has good clarity, that's enough. The additional bells and whistles would constitute decreasing returns to scale for me given my eyes being unable to appreciate the greater sharpness.

Sorry for the late response but I wanted to test this out for you. I just got back from a trans siberian orchestra concert and I used the monocular. It worked great when I wanted to see certain things up close! The 7x zoom was perfect for where I was sitting which was the first row of the upper level in the arena at Mohegan Sun. I would definitely recommend using it at an event like this or a comedy show. The only issue is that since it is designed for one eye you either need to close the other or try to ignore what you see in the other eye while looking through the monocular. If you plan on looking through it the entire time your eyes might get tired. Sorry for the late response but I wanted to test this out for you.

Hello Aaron. I wish I have the Glidecam to compare both units. I can tell you the Opteka works and do good videos. If you read the reviews on other brands, you'll see lot of complains on setup and quality. Well, that is not a problem with this unit. Setup is really easy and the quality is pretty decent. My "concern" is that it's heavy and after some time, you will feel the weight. I wish Opteka could replace some parts and use aluminum to make it a "perfect" unit (price v/s quality). Now, keep on mind this is for fun... I tried on some parties and all my friends got in love with the unit. BUT if you want to make some money and do it professional, then you'll need to pay more. I hope this helps.... Hello Aaron. I wish I have the Glidecam to compare both units. I can tell you the Opteka works and do good videos.

I spent a lot of time researching and have decided that the wait is worth it (although, unbearable!) The FZ40 is an improvement over the FZ35 as far as startup speed, image quality (not only higher MP, but also a better sensor). The zoom also is worth it to me. If you do some searching, there are a lot of reviews now. The FZ40 also has panoramic, not sure if the FZ35 has that or not.I don't think that the FZ100 is worth the extra 1 hundred. There still is some debate over the quality of the images with the MOS sensor and the 1080 video vs 720 wasn't worth it for me.

Don't write off the Zune yet. I've had Zen Micro Photos and one terrible characteristic is that the screen is unreadable outdoors. I'm not sure if this is true of the ZVM but some sites I've seen suggest it is. Here are the areas where the Zune beats the Zen: - more scratch resistent and resilient (Zune has a rubberized coating which helps protect it from scratches and drops) - bigger screen - if you do use it for videos the Zune display is the biggest and best - RDS support - if you use the radio you may get station and track ID info - seemingly slightly better battery life, thinner, and lighter (although a bit longer). The Zune is a bit rough around the edges, but it will only get better with new firmware. Microsoft started the project in January, so its still early days. There may be some innovative applications yet of the wifi, and there are rumors of games to come - the Zune has a pretty powerful CPU and does come from the XBox division. Pre-Zune I would say the ZVM was definitely the device to get but the Zune is definitely a contender.

V1 Viewer is really really bad, I've got one, it's useless. V3 Viewer is nice (I've got one too), with better resolution, its quality looks like the 3D screen on the back of the camera Fuji W3. It can play 3D photos AND 3D videos ! Don't buy a V1, you will be disappointed. Sorry, my english is very poor (I'm french)

I have the 604...I returned the Zen W for it. Why do I prefer the 604?feels solid (love the silver color)has recording capabilitykickstandaccessories are cheaper (battery, car charger, wall charger, case, av plugs) - zen accessories cost almost doubleit looks good next to my silver lcd tvI have no regrets w/ my 604 and been happy w/ it since day one.I get alot of on lookers when I use it on the plane.

You can find the app on Google play. The Cool Cam works great never regret purchasing it. Vision is clear in the darkest places. As long as you have a good internet connection you should not have any problems. I use it to monitor my baby and it works well even when I am away from home. Hope you get through with yours.

what would you need 1.3 megapixels for? regardless the images will still be crap, if you want real pictures go buy a nikon or canon, or standalone webcam for chat if you're that picky. On MSN .3 - 1.3 looks same, also saves bandwidth.bluetooth - go stick in a flush usb adapter, 15$. No bluetooth - one less way to waste battery.DVD drive - get your own standalone drive. no DVD - less weight, less battery drain.I like this low voltage core duo style, I'm gonna spring for the UL50vt.

For me it depends on how u want to use. I use mine mostly for internet use, viewing mail, texting. I haven't used for viewing any videos, but have viewed YouTube.

The Z100 creates decent looking 3D video, easily and at a very low cost. I wouldn't expect Avatar, but for $150, I think you know that. The Stereoscopic effect is strongest between 3 and 10 feet from the camera, but at longer distances you will see the 3D effect weaken. Beyond about 50 feet, everything just about flattens out. Also, the camera records split screen Left / Right eye by compressing both into half of the HD width, so you lose some resolution. That said...I love my Z100. It's a great entry point into 3D video, but don't expect Hollywood quality video. Search Youtube and you'll find examples of 3D footage shot with this cam. Judge for yourself.

If I were considering each brand according to the criteria established my decision would be based on whether I was purchasing to compliment a MAC or a PC vis-à-vis'. Apple produces great hardware however my workstation is PC based and so the Viewsonic is a daily welcome sight though this may be a moot point since many peripherals work on either platform. ( Display Port, Thunderbolt, E5 series Intel, very shiny but slower than my AMD). I am very happy with the Viewsonic. I enjoy the beauty of Apple gear.

Greetings, I have both cameras, they are actually both GREAT! Some random thoughts: I like the ZS3 25mm wide views. The Sony's battery last longer. I like the SD card of the Pana. The Pana is thinner and a bit easier to carry. This is VERY subjective - the Sony video is slightly sharper. Small sound of the motor when zooming the pana video. Both cameras have tac sharp pictures. It's a hard one because both are so good.

I think VR will be worth the extra money. You will be able to take without flash in lower light as compared to without VR. Though D40 is awesome, most people recommend D60 over it mainly because of the VR in the bundled lens.
